REWARD OFFER RESOLUTION
If your Business myLoyalty account has multiple reward schemes and offers, you might be interested in configuring the reward offer resolution which defines how your Contacts will be rewarded in such cases. The default is that a Contact is rewarded on all matched offers.
REWARDS
Reward is the amount of money that will be provided to a Contact in the form of cashback when reaching a specific goal (e.g. perform a purchase event).
The reward is always a financial amount and can be provided in reward currency; crediting the contact's wallet. Rewards based on purchases are calculated based on the total transaction amount (minus instant discount and discount of purchase customer event).
Note that the expiration date (validity to) defines the latest date that the reward can be spent, motivating contacts to spend their rewards.
Every reward that is provided will create a reward transaction, crediting the Contact’s wallet with the respective amount. In the event where a reward is expired, a reward expiration transaction is created and the relevant amount is deducted from the Contact’s wallet balance.
SPENDS
Spend represents an amount that will be deducted from the Contact's wallet automatically, when the spending criteria are met during a purchase. Spends can be classified as conditional, where Contacts can spend rewards on specific conditions or unconditional, where Contact can spend rewards without meeting any conditions.
A different approach applies for each spending model:
Auto Spend Requests
An amount from the Contact available wallet balance will be automatically spent (without the Contact's request) during a purchase. As a result, the Contact's wallet balance will be debited - so long as the balance is not subject to specific spend conditions.
Spend Instantly
A spend is instantly triggeredfor triggered for an amount equal to the rewarded amount
The spend amount is applied on the purchase total amount right away
The Contact will be able to spend their rewards:
with online transactions (when Contact pays with a registered card at the JCC POS of a participating Merchant)
with cash transactions submitted via the myLoyaltyCash app by the Merchant
How consumers are awarded and how they can spend their
awardsrewards
Reward events are actions, such as purchase transaction or a friend referral. All types of events are evaluated against reward offers. The evaluation takes place either directly at the point of sales of the Merchant (where the purchase is registered) or through subsequent processes that handle multiple events and reward them in one flow. Following a positive evaluation, the reward engine proceeds with the creation of a reward transaction, which generates a credit wallet transaction, adding funds to the wallet of the Contacts.
Contacts can redeem their rewards by spending their wallet funds, either at their own discretion or subject to conditions (for example, at a specific shop and date/time). A A spend request evaluates if there are sufficient funds in the wallet of the Contact, then a spend transaction is created which in turn generates a debit wallet transaction, that deducts funds from the wallet of the Contact.
Rewarded funds can be subject to an expiration date. If this is the case, the funds are expired through a background recurring process that expires funds in one flow. A reward expiration transaction is created, as well as a debit wallet transaction, which deducts the funds from the wallet so that they can no longer be spent.
